Vintage Camera Collection

Kodak Retina IIc (type 020)

The Kodak Retina line contains some of my favorite cameras, due in no small part to the second camera in my collection, my great-grandmother’s Type 126. I find Retinas to have some of the best hand-feel of any pocketable cameras.

As with all folding Retinas I have had the pleasure of using, the IIc has excellent build quality, having been produced by Kodak-owned Nagel Camerawerke in Stuttgart, Germany.

This particular IIc, as some of you will no doubt notice, is not entirely correct. It came with the f2 Xenon lens, likely from a IIIc. It will be interesting to see what results from this combination.
